What Does a Training and Development Professional Do?

Do you enjoy interacting with other people? Do you have a passion to teach and train others? Do you have valuable skills that need to be passed on to the next generation? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of the above, why not consider a career in workplace training and assessment?

What is Training and Assessment?

The training and assessment industry involves sharing knowledge and skills with other people. In particular, it focuses on teaching vocational or practical skills related to a specific industry, and assessing students, to determine that these skills have been effectively taught and acquired.

Workplace trainers are highly valued in Australia, with many of them working in the vocational training system. They may also be known as trainers and assessors, VET teachers, vocational teachers or trainers, or workplace trainers.

What Qualifications do I Need?

Whether you study online or in class, gaining a qualification through studying a training and assessment course will equip you with knowledge and practical experience to build your career. These training assessment courses will teach you how to design and deliver training programs and activities to achieve great results.

The Certificate IV in Training and Assessment is the minimum qualification you need to train and assess in the vocational education sector such as TAFE or other Registered Training Organisations (RTOs). This online TAE course will teach you how to deliver and assess vocational qualifications, as well as in a workplace training setting. Ideal for those who deliver accredited or non-accredited or workplace training, the Cert IV will enhance your training skills and can be useful if you want a career in middle management.

Another option for study includes the Dual Diploma of Vocational Education and Training and the Diploma of Training Design and Development. This dual course builds on the Cert IV qualification and covers assessment and needs analysis. You will also be able to build upon your knowledge in design, preparation, and delivery of training. This qualification will equip you for jobs including Senior Training Facilitator or a Learning and Development Manager.

Finally, the Graduate Certificate in eLearning will meet the needs of those who focus on web-based teaching and learning. Delivered online, this course would suit teachers, education officer, and training personnel across a wide range of industries. It involves a variety of individual and collaborative learning opportunities, with content developed to align with each individual’s specific needs.

Where Will it Take me?
